L had the same facail expression as almost always, but deep down inside he was surprised. "...Really?" He wanted to verify.
"Yeah..." Light simply responded.
"Why?"
The brunettes eyes widened. This simple one-word question seemed to make his heart stop for a second. "I don't know.." was all he could say, since he really meant it. He had no idea why sadness was suddenly filling his entire body when he had heard the other say that they'd part soon. He had no idea why he suddenly felt as if he wanted to desperately cling to his suppose-to-be enemy, as if he was going to disappear right then and there. He definitely had no idea why he now felt that maybe, this whole time, Him and L were never meant to fight against each other.
He was suddenly pulled out of his thoughts when he felt something moist on his foot. He sighed. "Ryuzaki, is your hair seriously not dry st-" He stopped mid-sentence as soon as he looked over at the detective. He stood completely still, as if he had an 'off-button' that was just pressed.
What he saw was L holding his foot, and softly dragging his tongue along it.
"Wh-what are you doing!?" The brunette bursted out, coming back into reality. His cheeks began to flush red.
"What does it look like?" L spoke as if the answer should be obvious. As if this was a normal thing that would happen. "I'm licking your foot."
"Y-yeah but why?!" Light stared at L with a confused, and still surprised face.
"I don't know.." L seemingly mocked the other. Light's face darkened.
"Where you just mocking me there, Ryuzaki?"
"Oh, no. Never." The detective teased. Light's eyebrow twitched with slight irritation.
"My foot is fine now, you can move away from it." The brunette announced, slightly demanding. He didn't want that happening again. Especially since inside, he felt as though he did want it. He felt like this day had changed everything between them. But he didn't want L to know. He wished he could know what L was thinking, but it was often hard to tell with someone who rarely expresses emotions. The more he denied that he just might possibly falling for L, the more he felt he was.
L sighed. "Your foot feels as tense as ever to me..." He responded, running a finger down it, making one of Light's toes twitch. Without hesitation, L bent down and licked the toe that had just twitched. He looked up when he suddenly heard Light let out a soft laugh.
"Th-that tickled, weirdo!" Light was slightly smiling, and in a few moments in began to disappear when L just sat there, staring up at him. Light stood up.
"...We should go someplace else, the stairs are starting to feel a bit uncomfortable." The brunette suggested, rubbing his back slightly. L nodded and stood as well, in his normal Slightly-arched-forward pose he walked in.
They then walked side by side down a few halls, towards the room in which L slept. Well, would have slept, if he really got much sleep.
